Only if it’s less than 1 year. Anything else is a scam. Trade work is learned hands on, out in the field.

I did trade school for electrical. The work is ass and so is the pay. Unions are not easy to get into either. Very labor intensive and the stress is high. FUCK the trades. RN nurses basically have the same schooling (for the associates to be an RN) and they make what a journeyman makes right out of school. You have any idea how depressing that is?

This is the kind of brain dead dumbass you'll be surrounded with btw, op.
>>56995249
Forgot to mention how fucking ghetto it is. You feel like a lower class citizen in this field. Also trade school is basically boot camp. You get yelled at everyday. I was the too student there (instructor made me teach others) and even I got yelled at daily. It's ASS

I work in a low col, rtw state as a commercial hvac tech and I’ll close the year by making just under 100k with very little overtime. The work is cake. PM / service work only, no installs or duct work. I don’t pay for the work vehicle that I get to take home. I have a company issued phone that I use as my personal phone. No degree needed. No daily meetings, no sitting in front of a screen all day, not buried in paper work, not dealing with phone calls, etc. been slaving for 15 years now and no knee or back injuries like the collegecucks would like you to believe is what happens.

It would be worth it to learn electronics, pneumatics and just the basics if you're at 0 for knowledge.
I don't think it's the right play if you're 35 but if you're young, yeah like the one guy said. 6k, 1 year, and then go build roofs.

Posts like these are what taking the drowning rat out for a few seconds is for tradies. It gives them useless hope to keep going, not knowing they’ll be back in the water for GOOD next time.

I make $28.65 in a medical field with a 2 year degree. HR is filled with drooling idiots and tech guys who dont give a shit so that is why if anyone leaves their computer logged in and walks away, in two clicks i can see their hourly rate by accessing their hr portal. This poor woman with a four year degree and years more experience than me makes only $2 more per hour to do the same exact work.

Our company in Minnesota pays journeyman electricians $50 an hour. I hit $103k for the year on my last check, it's done very well for me. Bought a house and have a nice vehicle. Trade school was $18k but I paid it all out of pocket. Got my masters and contractors license recently and will be attempting to strike out on my own in March

You're an idiot. They make 60-80 an hr depending on location which is more than 95% of jobs in those areas
